Chapter 459: Leaving (2)
As soon as he arrived in the county seat, Qingshu went to the grave of Old Man Gu. This time, Qingshu found that not only was the land smooth, but there was also a wide and deep ditch next to the road.
The higher you go, the more ditches there are, crisscrossing them, ensuring that rainwater can flow down the hill along the ditches.
Qingshu nodded secretly, Gu Heping did a good job in this matter. It's really like what my grandmother said, everyone has grown up with a new daughter-in-law.
When she arrived at Old Man Gu's grave, she saw Gu Heping and was a little surprised: "Uncle." ”
Gu Heping nodded.
After Qingshu finished putting on the incense, Gu Heping asked, "Why did you come back alone, what about your grandmother?" ”
Qingshu said: "Grandma has already returned to Fuzhou, and I set off on the day I returned to Taifeng County." I was going to go with her, but when I heard that my grandmother had died, I came back to mourn. ”
When Gu Heping heard this, he said with a smile: "Now there is a rumor outside, saying that the eldest aunt has hoarded a lot of grain. I've been so worried these days, and now it seems that this rumor is false. ”
Qingshu shook his head and said, "No, the rumors are true. My grandmother used all the money left by my grandfather to buy food. ”
Gu Heping was stunned, and after coming back to his senses, he said, "How much food have you hoarded?" If you ask too much, you will invite disaster. ”
Qingshu said: "Originally, my grandmother was going to buy 200,000 stone of grain. However, after the rumors of the flood came out, most of the people in Pingzhou held on to their grain and did not sell it. Therefore, we only bought 180,000 stone of grain. ”
Of the 180,000 stone grain, 130,000 stone grain was bought from outside, and 30,000 was the Lei family's inventory.
Gu Heping was stunned, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time: "So much food, how much does it cost?" ”
"The grain and medicinal herbs together cost a total of about 350,000 taels of silver."
Gu Heping felt that his legs were a little weak: "Your grandmother went to Fuzhou, what about these things?" ”
The voice is a little floating.
Qingshu said with a smile: "Grandma's original intention of stockpiling food that day was to help the victims, and after the flood, she handed over the food and medicinal materials to the government for them to use for disaster relief. However, because of the spread of this matter, my aunt was afraid that someone would be unfavorable to my grandmother, so I hurried back to Fujian with my grandmother. ”
"Handed, handed over to the government?"
Qingshu hummed and said, "Grandma said that this is a matter of accumulating merit, so she donated it all, and she didn't keep a grain of food." ”
Turning his head, Qingshu kowtowed three more times in front of the grave, and said softly: "Grandpa, I'm leaving, I'll come back to see you with my grandmother in a few years." ”
Gu Heping didn't know how he got home.
Zeng Shi looked at him in a trance, and he was very anxious: "What's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?" ”
Gu Heping glanced at her and asked, "What about Mother?" Where is she? ”
When the Yuan family began to live on Gu Heping's side, they scolded the heavens and the earth every day. was starved by Zeng's for many meals, and when he was hungry, he didn't dare to scold again. Later, when he got well, he didn't have Zeng's help to work, so he walked around all day and talked to people, and went home to either sleep or wait for food.
Zeng said: "My mother sleeps in the house. ”
In this year, except for the fact that they can't move, everyone is trying to get food. If there is no food, I went to pick wild vegetables outside the county, so there was no one to accompany Yuan's in the past two days.
was woken up when he slept soundly, and Yuan's was very hot. But she didn't dare to scold Zeng, so she had to sprinkle her anger on Gu Heping: "What about calling the soul?" If you don't go out to work and make money, what are you doing at home during the day? ”
Gu Heping didn't care about her tone, and said, "Mother, the rumors outside are true. ”
Yuan Shi was inexplicable: "What rumors are true?" ”
Zeng reacted quickly and said, "Boss, do you mean that the rumors of the eldest aunt hoarding grain are true?" ”
Seeing him nodding, Yuan was overjoyed: "How much grain has your aunt hoarded?" Now the rice outside is sold for 2251 catties. If your aunt hoards 120,000 catties of rice, she will make a lot of money. ”
Gu Heping shook his head and said, "The eldest aunt is not hoarding 120,000 catties, she is hoarding 180,000 stone of grain. ”
Zeng's was stunned.
Yuan Shi was so excited that he danced: "180,000 stone of grain, let's count one or two catties, that is, more than 20 million taels of silver." It's gone, we're done. ”
This is also the reason why Lu Zijiao wants to stock up on grain. Because it's not three or five times the profit, it's a hundredfold profit. Of course, the stakes are also high.
Zeng was shocked back to his senses by her scream: "Mother-in-law, even if the eldest aunt really makes so much money, it has nothing to do with us. ”
If the husband does not have an heir, the husband can also be naked. But now, it has nothing to do with them.
"How can it not matter? Even if she has an heir, she has been called her mother for more than ten years. With so much money, the leaks between our fingers are enough for us to eat and drink spicy food. ”
Seeing that she was still daydreaming, Gu Heping said: "Mother, the eldest aunt donated the 180,000 stone grain and a warehouse of medicinal materials. ”
"Donate, donate, donate?"
Gu Heping hummed and said: "It's all donated, and the eldest aunt said that she would help the victims, and she would also accumulate merit for him and the uncle." ”
Yuan's eyes were dark and he fainted.
Zeng was a little speechless. This is not the food donated to her family, what is the matter if she faints out of anger.
pinched Yuan's Renzhong.
Yuan woke up and shouted, "Go, let's go to Pingzhou now." Let your aunt go and ask for the grain, even if you can't come back, it's good to get back 10,000 or 20,000 stones! ”
"Mother, don't think about it, the eldest aunt has returned to Fuzhou. By the way, mother, the eldest aunt spent a total of 350,000 taels of silver to buy grain and medicinal materials this time. ”
"If you hadn't been whispering in my ear, my aunt didn't treat me sincerely, and I was separated from my aunt. I am still the heir of the big house, so the more than 300,000 taels of silver will be mine. ”
After speaking, Gu Heping also deliberately said: "Mother, our family eats gold and drinks silver all day long, and we can't use it up in this life." It's not like now that you eat sweet potatoes all day long. ”
Yuan Shi regretted that the field was green, holding his chest and crying bitterly: "It's my fault, it's all my fault." ”
Gu Heping glanced at her, turned around and walked out of the house.
Zeng followed him back to the room and asked cautiously, "Master, what you just said is false, right?" ”
"These things were told to me by Qingshu, right in front of my father's grave. If it is false, it is impossible to say it at my father's grave. ”
He changed his name to Mrs. Gu's aunt, but he didn't change his mouth about Mrs. Gu.
It turned out to be true. With so much silver, Zeng was a little dazed when he thought about that picture.
Within two days, the entire county knew that Mrs. Gu had donated more than 100,000 grains.
When Xu Liuye heard the news, he went home and told Xu Erye. Their family spent manpower and financial resources to get this house, but in the past few years, they have searched the entire house and have not found the gold and silver treasures. Who would have thought that this gold and silver was not in the old mansion, but was hidden in the mansion by the old woman.
Second Master Xu stood up in shock: "Is it confirmed?" ”
Xu Liuye said with a heavy face: "It's confirmed, it's true." Uncle, we were all deceived. ”
"Poof......
After squirting a mouthful of blood, Second Master Xu fell straight to the ground.
